## What is 'Business Contest C×E×O'?
A new business contest hosted by Startup Factory, a to-C fund headed by Osamu Suzuki. The contest evaluates participants comprehensively, judging not only their business plans but also their qualities and characters as entrepreneurs.
Following the first event held in January last year, this 2nd edition will feature numerous young challengers in their teens, primarily high school and university students. Regardless of past achievements or titles, the contest emphasizes elements such as future potential and the desire to challenge, aiming to discover and nurture the entrepreneurs who will lead the next generation. While the contest is generally targeted at those 25 and under, this time we have also selected contestants in their 30s who possess unique perspectives and strong motivation.
On the day of the event, judging will be conducted through various presentations by each contestant, guided by the host, Zin (THE RAMPAGE). In addition, between judging sessions, portfolio companies of Startup Factory will take the stage to introduce their businesses.
